Australian lender Westpac reports 13% rise in first-quarter profit

^{Published on 2025-02-16 16:40:50 - Reuters}

Australia's Westpac Banking posted a 13% rise in its first-quarter net profit on Monday, helped by growth in customer deposits and housing and business loan volumes.

Westpac Banking Corp reported a 13% rise in first-quarter profit for 2025, driven by higher interest rates and a robust performance in its institutional banking division. The Australian lender's net profit for the three months ending December 31 was A$1.5 billion, up from A$1.3 billion in the same period the previous year. This increase was supported by a 7% growth in total income to A$5.9 billion, although expenses also rose by 5% to A$3.1 billion. Westpac's CEO, Peter King, highlighted the bank's focus on cost management and operational efficiency amidst a challenging economic environment. Additionally, the bank's common equity tier 1 capital ratio improved to 12.3% from 11.3%, indicating a stronger capital position.
